Two things I did that led to my inability to boot was using the 
--noudev switch on the mkinitrd command line and in the udev 
configuration file:

/etc/udev/udev.conf

I had the line:
 
UDEV_INITRD="no"


After changing that line to:
 
UDEV_INITRD="yes"

and then rebuilding the initrd*.img file without the --noudev switch 
I could then boot just fine into the .541 kernel.
